About

 Gina Policastri is a Family Law Specialist as certified by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, and partner at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri, where she has worked since graduating from Santa Clara University School of Law. Gina was one of the firm’s first associates and, during her 18 year tenure, has been instrumental in growing the firm into one of the largest family law firms in California.  Gina obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Santa Clara University in 2000 and her Juris Doctorate from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2003, where she earned a place as an editor of the Santa Clara Law Review by writing a legal comment on the Barry Bonds divorce case and the prenuptial agreement legislation it subsequently sparked. Gina has been certified by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization as a Family Law Specialist since 2011. To obtain this certification, an attorney must: 1) be an active member in good standing of the State Bar of California; 2) pass a written examination covering California family law; 3) have substantial experience in the field of family law; 4) complete State Bar of California approved legal education requirements applicable to the family law field; and 5) be favorably evaluated by judges and/or other attorneys concerning his or her knowledge, ability and experience in the practice of family law.

Gina is the consummate professional with a vast knowledge base. I had a complicated case and was always confident that Gina could steer me in the right direction. I would absolutely recommend her.

Going through a divorce is not easy, especially when your ex hires a bulldog vs a qualified divorce attorney. Gina knew exactly what we were up against, someone who isn't looking for the best interest of both parties but rather how much she can keep it going so she could bill, bill and bill. On our first day in court I knew I had hired the best, everything my ex's attorney threw at the judge was shot down, whereas with Gina's poise and her extensive knowledge of the law the judge gave me everything I asked for without throwing low blows. Gina knows the law, I mean really knows how to prepare, develop a solid strategy and move things along as quickly as possible. Gina is a fantastic communicator, a great listener and never had to ask me a question a second time. She listens, provides guidance and then goes to battle on and off the court. Additionally, Gina has a very strong supporting staff who were just as good as Gina and provided me with answers to any questions or concerns I might have around child custody, support, and splitting of assets. If you are looking for a divorce attorney I highly recommend Gina and her team, they will go above and beyond to help you through this tough time with amazing results.

I recently completed the divorce process. Although I am myself a lawyer, it is only with hindsight that I realize how naïve I was in the beginning about the process that lay ahead. Through a time consuming process including much screening and evaluation, attorneys at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri and more particularly Gina Policastri and Riley Pennington were retained to represent me. I’m sure I presented some unique challenges to them but with every interaction between us they were informed, patient, and always instructive and instilled in me a great level of confidence in the rightness and effectiveness of their advice and representation. And through it all, they provided guidance based on their considerable experience and knowledge of the subject matter, which allowed me to think past my initial instincts. I have since unqualifiedly recommended them to others and would not hesitate to continue to do so in the future.

Before hiring Gina my case was never getting anywhere, and it has been 6 years going through my divorce, once i hired Gina within 8 months my divorced was finalized. She is extremely organized, a hard worker and always has the best advice for you and knows what is needed to do to move your case forward!

Gina is currently representing me in my divorce which has been a difficult 2-year process due to delays caused by the opposing attorney and my ex. She was able to answer my numerous questions about the process, copies me on everything and keeps me in the loop the entire time. Communication from Gina and her team either through office visits or by email are always very responsive. Gina is very knowledgeable, professional, competent and has a straight forward approach when explaining the pros and cons and what to expect next. Gina and her staff at Lonich & Patton are very well organized, efficient and gave attention to every detail including correcting opposing attorney’s errors! I felt very comfortable with Gina knowing that she would help guide me to make decisions based on what was best for me and my child. She will definitely fight for your rights! I would highly recommend Gina to represent you in your divorce proceedings, family law or any other legal issue for that matter.

After a long 2-year divorce process, I regularly found myself very thankful I came across Gina Policastri of Lonich & Patton. There is so much I can say regarding how incredibly professional and caring Gina was throughout my often frustrating process, but I will keep it short by saying you should try to retain Gina to be your attorney if at all possible. Divorces are very hard on you, and the right attorney will help ease a lot of the frustrations. I would also like to commend the entire staff at Lonich & Patton for their great work on my move-away case with a child, which I won through trial. I could not have asked for better representation.

I found Gina on Avvo, and it is definitely the right decision. My case is very complicated - international parental abduction case. And China is not a Hague-Convention signatory country, which adds more complexity to the case. In the first consultation, Gina gives me the impression that she is knowledgeable and objective (not too optimistic for the purpose of just taking the case or too pessimistic). This makes me feel she is trustworthy. Another very important thing is that she and her team is very responsive, which is really key to our communication given our distance/timing difference. I mainly work with Gina and her team by emails, which works well for us. I retained Gina in early June, and the hearing was set on July 13th. Very good efficiency. Gina also took the right action under urgency - when I was about to fly to CA for the hearing, something risky happened. With Gina and her team's help, it is solved. With good filing/preparation/strategy by Gina and her team, I win at the first hearing, which is the best scenario that I haven't expected. Although I'm still in the process of getting my attorney fees as prevailing party for the parental abduction case, I believe I will be well represented by Gina and her team for my best interest. I would recommend Gina to represent you for Child Custody or Support case. If your case is an international one or complicated one, she can also get the job done.

Gina is excellent. I have a very complicated case with a very hard to work with ex (to put it nicely). She listens to my input, she explains everything in plain language. She tells you the pro's and con's and what you can expect. She also tells you exactly what your fees are going to be and how to keep them down. My case was a modification of spousal support and a very unusual case of adult child support for a disabled child. In addition, the opposing attorney was unfamiliar with many aspects and yet Gina kept everything on a smooth keel. I received regular updates, I was copied on everything and never felt like I was out of the loop. She was always available if I had to clarify something and if we had a question about how something should be handled, she really listened to me and we adjusted. I had worked with another attorney before who basically just told me what to do and I let her do it. Not Gina, at all times I was aware that this was MY case and I was in charge. Her advice was excellent and she always kept my budget in mind, telling me what was worth the money and what wasn't. If I asked for something (things came up that changed the scope), she would tell me about how much it would cost so I could make a decision on whether or not it was worth it. In addition, the other attorneys and staff are excellent. Jillian especially is excellent at the financial work. I especially liked that they didn't make decisions FOR me, they made them WITH me. They would send over papers for me to review before they were submitted. They responded quickly to my emails and calls. In two words, PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT. I am so pleased I'm going to keep them on retainer after this is done just in case I have to deal with my ex in the future. (Unfortunately, I'm sure I will--but not because Gina and her staff didn't do their job--some people just never move on.)

She was always available if I had to clarify something and if we had a question about how something should be handled, she really listened to me and we adjusted. I had worked with another attorney before who basically just told me what to do and I let her do it. Not Gina, at all times I was aware that this was MY case and I was in charge. Her advice was excellent and she always kept my budget in mind, telling me what was worth the money and what wasn't. If I asked for something (things came up that changed the scope), she would tell me about how much it would cost so I could make a decision on whether or not it was worth it. In addition, the other attorneys and staff are excellent. Jillian especially is excellent at the financial work. I especially liked that they didn't make decisions FOR me, they made them WITH me. They would send over papers for me to review before they were submitted. They responded quickly to my emails and calls. In two words, PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT. I am so pleased I'm going to keep them on retainer after this is done just in case I have to deal with my ex in the future. (Unfortunately, I'm sure I will--but not because Gina and her staff didn't do their job--some people just never move on.)

Gina is the consummate professional with a vast knowledge base. I had a complicated case and was always confident that Gina could steer me in the right direction. I would absolutely recommend her.

Going through a divorce is not easy, especially when your ex hires a bulldog vs a qualified divorce attorney. Gina knew exactly what we were up against, someone who isn't looking for the best interest of both parties but rather how much she can keep it going so she could bill, bill and bill. On our first day in court I knew I had hired the best, everything my ex's attorney threw at the judge was shot down, whereas with Gina's poise and her extensive knowledge of the law the judge gave me everything I asked for without throwing low blows. Gina knows the law, I mean really knows how to prepare, develop a solid strategy and move things along as quickly as possible. Gina is a fantastic communicator, a great listener and never had to ask me a question a second time. She listens, provides guidance and then goes to battle on and off the court. Additionally, Gina has a very strong supporting staff who were just as good as Gina and provided me with answers to any questions or concerns I might have around child custody, support, and splitting of assets. If you are looking for a divorce attorney I highly recommend Gina and her team, they will go above and beyond to help you through this tough time with amazing results.

I recently completed the divorce process. Although I am myself a lawyer, it is only with hindsight that I realize how naïve I was in the beginning about the process that lay ahead. Through a time consuming process including much screening and evaluation, attorneys at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri and more particularly Gina Policastri and Riley Pennington were retained to represent me. I’m sure I presented some unique challenges to them but with every interaction between us they were informed, patient, and always instructive and instilled in me a great level of confidence in the rightness and effectiveness of their advice and representation. And through it all, they provided guidance based on their considerable experience and knowledge of the subject matter, which allowed me to think past my initial instincts. I have since unqualifiedly recommended them to others and would not hesitate to continue to do so in the future.

Before hiring Gina my case was never getting anywhere, and it has been 6 years going through my divorce, once i hired Gina within 8 months my divorced was finalized. She is extremely organized, a hard worker and always has the best advice for you and knows what is needed to do to move your case forward!

Gina is currently representing me in my divorce which has been a difficult 2-year process due to delays caused by the opposing attorney and my ex. She was able to answer my numerous questions about the process, copies me on everything and keeps me in the loop the entire time. Communication from Gina and her team either through office visits or by email are always very responsive. Gina is very knowledgeable, professional, competent and has a straight forward approach when explaining the pros and cons and what to expect next. Gina and her staff at Lonich & Patton are very well organized, efficient and gave attention to every detail including correcting opposing attorney’s errors! I felt very comfortable with Gina knowing that she would help guide me to make decisions based on what was best for me and my child. She will definitely fight for your rights! I would highly recommend Gina to represent you in your divorce proceedings, family law or any other legal issue for that matter.

After a long 2-year divorce process, I regularly found myself very thankful I came across Gina Policastri of Lonich & Patton. There is so much I can say regarding how incredibly professional and caring Gina was throughout my often frustrating process, but I will keep it short by saying you should try to retain Gina to be your attorney if at all possible. Divorces are very hard on you, and the right attorney will help ease a lot of the frustrations. I would also like to commend the entire staff at Lonich & Patton for their great work on my move-away case with a child, which I won through trial. I could not have asked for better representation.

I found Gina on Avvo, and it is definitely the right decision. My case is very complicated - international parental abduction case. And China is not a Hague-Convention signatory country, which adds more complexity to the case. In the first consultation, Gina gives me the impression that she is knowledgeable and objective (not too optimistic for the purpose of just taking the case or too pessimistic). This makes me feel she is trustworthy. Another very important thing is that she and her team is very responsive, which is really key to our communication given our distance/timing difference. I mainly work with Gina and her team by emails, which works well for us. I retained Gina in early June, and the hearing was set on July 13th. Very good efficiency. Gina also took the right action under urgency - when I was about to fly to CA for the hearing, something risky happened. With Gina and her team's help, it is solved. With good filing/preparation/strategy by Gina and her team, I win at the first hearing, which is the best scenario that I haven't expected. Although I'm still in the process of getting my attorney fees as prevailing party for the parental abduction case, I believe I will be well represented by Gina and her team for my best interest. I would recommend Gina to represent you for Child Custody or Support case. If your case is an international one or complicated one, she can also get the job done.

Gina is excellent. I have a very complicated case with a very hard to work with ex (to put it nicely). She listens to my input, she explains everything in plain language. She tells you the pro's and con's and what you can expect. She also tells you exactly what your fees are going to be and how to keep them down. My case was a modification of spousal support and a very unusual case of adult child support for a disabled child. In addition, the opposing attorney was unfamiliar with many aspects and yet Gina kept everything on a smooth keel. I received regular updates, I was copied on everything and never felt like I was out of the loop.

Gina is a fantastic communicator, a great listener and never had to ask me a question a second time. She listens, provides guidance and then goes to battle on and off the court. Additionally, Gina has a very strong supporting staff who were just as good as Gina and provided me with answers to any questions or concerns I might have around child custody, support, and splitting of assets. If you are looking for a divorce attorney I highly recommend Gina and her team, they will go above and beyond to help you through this tough time with amazing results.

I recently completed the divorce process. Although I am myself a lawyer, it is only with hindsight that I realize how naïve I was in the beginning about the process that lay ahead. Through a time consuming process including much screening and evaluation, attorneys at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri and more particularly Gina Policastri and Riley Pennington were retained to represent me. I’m sure I presented some unique challenges to them but with every interaction between us they were informed, patient, and always instructive and instilled in me a great level of confidence in the rightness and effectiveness of their advice and representation. And through it all, they provided guidance based on their considerable experience and knowledge of the subject matter, which allowed me to think past my initial instincts. I have since unqualifiedly recommended them to others and would not hesitate to continue to do so in the future.

Before hiring Gina my case was never getting anywhere, and it has been 6 years going through my divorce, once i hired Gina within 8 months my divorced was finalized. She is extremely organized, a hard worker and always has the best advice for you and knows what is needed to do to move your case forward!

Gina is currently representing me in my divorce which has been a difficult 2-year process due to delays caused by the opposing attorney and my ex. She was able to answer my numerous questions about the process, copies me on everything and keeps me in the loop the entire time. Communication from Gina and her team either through office visits or by email are always very responsive. Gina is very knowledgeable, professional, competent and has a straight forward approach when explaining the pros and cons and what to expect next. Gina and her staff at Lonich & Patton are very well organized, efficient and gave attention to every detail including correcting opposing attorney’s errors! I felt very comfortable with Gina knowing that she would help guide me to make decisions based on what was best for me and my child. She will definitely fight for your rights! I would highly recommend Gina to represent you in your divorce proceedings, family law or any other legal issue for that matter.

After a long 2-year divorce process, I regularly found myself very thankful I came across Gina Policastri of Lonich & Patton. There is so much I can say regarding how incredibly professional and caring Gina was throughout my often frustrating process, but I will keep it short by saying you should try to retain Gina to be your attorney if at all possible. Divorces are very hard on you, and the right attorney will help ease a lot of the frustrations. I would also like to commend the entire staff at Lonich & Patton for their great work on my move-away case with a child, which I won through trial. I could not have asked for better representation.

I needed advice on my divorce case and had a lot of questions. Gina listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. After meeting with her, I left feeling confident and relieved. She is very knowledgeable and is straight forward. Gina is the best attorney.

I found Gina on Avvo, and it is definitely the right decision. My case is very complicated - international parental abduction case. And China is not a Hague-Convention signatory country, which adds more complexity to the case. In the first consultation, Gina gives me the impression that she is knowledgeable and objective (not too optimistic for the purpose of just taking the case or too pessimistic). This makes me feel she is trustworthy. Another very important thing is that she and her team is very responsive, which is really key to our communication given our distance/timing difference. I mainly work with Gina and her team by emails, which works well for us. I retained Gina in early June, and the hearing was set on July 13th. Very good efficiency. Gina also took the right action under urgency - when I was about to fly to CA for the hearing, something risky happened. With Gina and her team's help, it is solved. With good filing/preparation/strategy by Gina and her team, I win at the first hearing, which is the best scenario that I haven't expected. Although I'm still in the process of getting my attorney fees as prevailing party for the parental abduction case, I believe I will be well represented by Gina and her team for my best interest. I would recommend Gina to represent you for Child Custody or Support case. If your case is an international one or complicated one, she can also get the job done.

Gina is excellent. I have a very complicated case with a very hard to work with ex (to put it nicely). She listens to my input, she explains everything in plain language. She tells you the pro's and con's and what you can expect. She also tells you exactly what your fees are going to be and how to keep them down. My case was a modification of spousal support and a very unusual case of adult child support for a disabled child. In addition, the opposing attorney was unfamiliar with many aspects and yet Gina kept everything on a smooth keel. I received regular updates, I was copied on everything and never felt like I was out of the loop. She was always available if I had to clarify something and if we had a question about how something should be handled, she really listened to me and we adjusted. I had worked with another attorney before who basically just told me what to do and I let her do it. Not Gina, at all times I was aware that this was MY case and I was in charge. Her advice was excellent and she always kept my budget in mind, telling me what was worth the money and what wasn't. If I asked for something (things came up that changed the scope), she would tell me about how much it would cost so I could make a decision on whether or not it was worth it. In addition, the other attorneys and staff are excellent. Jillian especially is excellent at the financial work. I especially liked that they didn't make decisions FOR me, they made them WITH me. They would send over papers for me to review before they were submitted. They responded quickly to my emails and calls. In two words, PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT. I am so pleased I'm going to keep them on retainer after this is done just in case I have to deal with my ex in the future. (Unfortunately, I'm sure I will--but not because Gina and her staff didn't do their job--some people just never move on.)

Going through a divorce is not easy, especially when your ex hires a bulldog vs a qualified divorce attorney. Gina knew exactly what we were up against, someone who isn't looking for the best interest of both parties but rather how much she can keep it going so she could bill, bill and bill. On our first day in court I knew I had hired the best, everything my ex's attorney threw at the judge was shot down, whereas with Gina's poise and her extensive knowledge of the law the judge gave me everything I asked for without throwing low blows.

Communication from Gina and her team either through office visits or by email are always very responsive. Gina is very knowledgeable, professional, competent and has a straight forward approach when explaining the pros and cons and what to expect next. Gina and her staff at Lonich & Patton are very well organized, efficient and gave attention to every detail including correcting opposing attorney’s errors! I felt very comfortable with Gina knowing that she would help guide me to make decisions based on what was best for me and my child. She will definitely fight for your rights! I would highly recommend Gina to represent you in your divorce proceedings, family law or any other legal issue for that matter.

After a long 2-year divorce process, I regularly found myself very thankful I came across Gina Policastri of Lonich & Patton. There is so much I can say regarding how incredibly professional and caring Gina was throughout my often frustrating process, but I will keep it short by saying you should try to retain Gina to be your attorney if at all possible. Divorces are very hard on you, and the right attorney will help ease a lot of the frustrations. I would also like to commend the entire staff at Lonich & Patton for their great work on my move-away case with a child, which I won through trial. I could not have asked for better representation.

I needed advice on my divorce case and had a lot of questions. Gina listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. After meeting with her, I left feeling confident and relieved. She is very knowledgeable and is straight forward. Gina is the best attorney.

I found Gina on Avvo, and it is definitely the right decision. My case is very complicated - international parental abduction case. And China is not a Hague-Convention signatory country, which adds more complexity to the case. In the first consultation, Gina gives me the impression that she is knowledgeable and objective (not too optimistic for the purpose of just taking the case or too pessimistic). This makes me feel she is trustworthy. Another very important thing is that she and her team is very responsive, which is really key to our communication given our distance/timing difference. I mainly work with Gina and her team by emails, which works well for us. I retained Gina in early June, and the hearing was set on July 13th. Very good efficiency. Gina also took the right action under urgency - when I was about to fly to CA for the hearing, something risky happened. With Gina and her team's help, it is solved. With good filing/preparation/strategy by Gina and her team, I win at the first hearing, which is the best scenario that I haven't expected. Although I'm still in the process of getting my attorney fees as prevailing party for the parental abduction case, I believe I will be well represented by Gina and her team for my best interest. I would recommend Gina to represent you for Child Custody or Support case. If your case is an international one or complicated one, she can also get the job done.

Gina is excellent. I have a very complicated case with a very hard to work with ex (to put it nicely). She listens to my input, she explains everything in plain language. She tells you the pro's and con's and what you can expect. She also tells you exactly what your fees are going to be and how to keep them down. My case was a modification of spousal support and a very unusual case of adult child support for a disabled child. In addition, the opposing attorney was unfamiliar with many aspects and yet Gina kept everything on a smooth keel. I received regular updates, I was copied on everything and never felt like I was out of the loop. She was always available if I had to clarify something and if we had a question about how something should be handled, she really listened to me and we adjusted. I had worked with another attorney before who basically just told me what to do and I let her do it. Not Gina, at all times I was aware that this was MY case and I was in charge. Her advice was excellent and she always kept my budget in mind, telling me what was worth the money and what wasn't. If I asked for something (things came up that changed the scope), she would tell me about how much it would cost so I could make a decision on whether or not it was worth it. In addition, the other attorneys and staff are excellent. Jillian especially is excellent at the financial work. I especially liked that they didn't make decisions FOR me, they made them WITH me. They would send over papers for me to review before they were submitted. They responded quickly to my emails and calls. In two words, PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT. I am so pleased I'm going to keep them on retainer after this is done just in case I have to deal with my ex in the future. (Unfortunately, I'm sure I will--but not because Gina and her staff didn't do their job--some people just never move on.)

Gina is the consummate professional with a vast knowledge base. I had a complicated case and was always confident that Gina could steer me in the right direction. I would absolutely recommend her.

Going through a divorce is not easy, especially when your ex hires a bulldog vs a qualified divorce attorney. Gina knew exactly what we were up against, someone who isn't looking for the best interest of both parties but rather how much she can keep it going so she could bill, bill and bill. On our first day in court I knew I had hired the best, everything my ex's attorney threw at the judge was shot down, whereas with Gina's poise and her extensive knowledge of the law the judge gave me everything I asked for without throwing low blows. Gina knows the law, I mean really knows how to prepare, develop a solid strategy and move things along as quickly as possible. Gina is a fantastic communicator, a great listener and never had to ask me a question a second time. She listens, provides guidance and then goes to battle on and off the court. Additionally, Gina has a very strong supporting staff who were just as good as Gina and provided me with answers to any questions or concerns I might have around child custody, support, and splitting of assets. If you are looking for a divorce attorney I highly recommend Gina and her team, they will go above and beyond to help you through this tough time with amazing results.

I recently completed the divorce process. Although I am myself a lawyer, it is only with hindsight that I realize how naïve I was in the beginning about the process that lay ahead. Through a time consuming process including much screening and evaluation, attorneys at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri and more particularly Gina Policastri and Riley Pennington were retained to represent me. I’m sure I presented some unique challenges to them but with every interaction between us they were informed, patient, and always instructive and instilled in me a great level of confidence in the rightness and effectiveness of their advice and representation. And through it all, they provided guidance based on their considerable experience and knowledge of the subject matter, which allowed me to think past my initial instincts. I have since unqualifiedly recommended them to others and would not hesitate to continue to do so in the future.

Before hiring Gina my case was never getting anywhere, and it has been 6 years going through my divorce, once i hired Gina within 8 months my divorced was finalized. She is extremely organized, a hard worker and always has the best advice for you and knows what is needed to do to move your case forward!
